Thunderbird for Android releases next year, and development is moving forward at a promising pace.

Here's an early (but not final) preview of what the Message View will look like: https://blog.thunderbird.net/2022/12/thunderbird-for-android-preview-modern-message-redesign/

very cool! I volunteer to beta test the app 😊 one thing that would be amazing to have: remind me later about this email (snooze) and schedule for later. This would be great to offset things that should be answered but not yet, or send an email at a later time (for example birthday wishes, reminders to self).

Oh, look at the pretty UI mockups, showing exactly how we will use all that screen estate previously dedicated to the actual message to pointless meta-data, like the almighty corporate "Important!" flag, instead 🤮 But, hey, can I maybe convince you to give us back the *option* to use encryption and signing *separately*, I'd appreciate *that*. It's ok to hide it in some "Advanced" menu... You know https://gist.github.com/grugq/03167bed45e774551155#think-about-signing

Looks good! If I was still on Android this is what I'd switch to, as I used K-9 on that and prefer Thunderbird everywhere else.

Pour nous qui utilisons et recommandons déjà Thunderbird et K9Mail, c'est probablement une très bonne chose !

awesome

I saw the discussion about adding matrix support to the mobile. I think it's a good decision to do one thing and do it well. I would like calendaring and contacts in your app for email though.

is this contradictory? maybe. do I still want it? obviously.

If $you ruin #K9Mail as you're constantly ruining our Thunderbird Add-On ecosystem, I'll not be amused at all, folks.
I mean thanks for all the effort, but look what has died already:
#YearView, #DuplicateContactsManager,
#QuoteCollapse
and LEGIONS more abandoned.
I tried to be constructive ever since, but save valuable code! Migrate the most important Add-Ons while you rampage the API.

have you ever considered releasing a webmail? We have some open source webmail softwares out there but they often lack UX. Besides we one could install it on their server, you could provide a paid private email service that would be a source of income.
